The CEO's Unexpected Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The laboratory erupted into chaos.Red lights flashed across the ceiling as security units moved into position.Elena instinctively stepped closer to Adrian.The boy who looked like him stood several meters away, watching everything with unsettling calm.“His name is Adrian?” Elena asked.The boy nodded.“But you can call me Aiden.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“I don't care what you call yourself.”Aiden smiled.“That is because you believe you are the original.”“You aren't.”“I know.”Aiden looked toward the screens.“I'm the improved version.”Noah raised his weapon.“Enough talking.”He fired at one of the security units.The machine fell.More immediately advanced.“Move!” Gabriel shouted.Everyone scattered.Adrian pulled Elena behind a metal pillar as sparks flew through the room.“Stay here.”“No.”“Elena—”“We stay together.”Adrian looked at her for a moment, then smiled.“Fine.”They moved together.Across the laboratory, Noah and Gabriel fought their way toward the main contro

The rain had not stopped.It poured against the tall glass windows of the penthouse, turning the city lights outside into blurred streaks of gold and white. Inside, everything was unusually quiet.Too quiet.Sophia stood beside the window, staring into the darkness while her fingers tightly held the phone in her hand.The message she had received kept replaying in her mind.“If you want to know who betrayed your husband, come to the old warehouse tonight. Come alone.”She had read it at least twenty times.Her first instinct was to tell Adrian.But something stopped her.For the past few weeks, Adrian had been hiding something from her. Every time she asked what was wrong, he would simply tell her that everything was under control.Sophia no longer believed him.She slipped her phone into her coat pocket and quietly walked toward the door.She had barely reached the elevator when a voice came from behind her.“Where are you going?”Sophia froze.She slowly turned around.Adrian stood

The gunshot echoed through the old house.Sophia screamed.“Dad!”Everything happened in an instant.Adrian pulled Sophia down behind the wooden cabinet as another bullet struck the wall above them. Glass shattered from the nearby window.“Stay down!” Adrian shouted.Sophia's heart pounded violently.Her eyes searched the hallway.Her father was still standing.But blood was spreading across his shoulder.“Dad!”Sophia tried to run toward him, but Adrian caught her wrist.“Wait!”“He's hurt!”“I know. But Daniel is still here.”As if hearing his name, Daniel laughed from the darkness.“You're slower than you used to be, Adrian.”Adrian's eyes hardened.“Show yourself.”Daniel stepped backward into the shadows.“You really think you can protect her forever?”Sophia's father suddenly shouted.“Run, Sophia!”“No!”Her father looked directly at her.“Listen to me!”Another gunshot rang out.Marcus and the guards immediately returned fire.Daniel disappeared through the broken window.“Don

Adrian couldn't speak.His father's brother was supposed to be dead.For years, he had believed that his uncle, Victor Blackwood, had died overseas after a serious illness. There had never been a funeral because the family had claimed his body could not be transported home.Now, after all these years, Victor was alive.And he was holding Sophia's mother captive.“That's impossible,” Adrian finally whispered.Sophia's father looked at him gravely.“I wish it were.”Adrian stared at the photograph on his phone.His uncle stood behind Evelyn, one hand resting on the back of her chair.The smile on his face made Adrian's stomach turn.“My father said Victor died twenty years ago.”“He didn't.”“Then why did my father lie?”“Because Victor was already involved with the people behind the Black Ledger.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“My father knew?”“He discovered it too late.”Sophia stepped between them.“Why would your uncle want my mother?”Her father answered.“Because Evelyn knows the ident

For several seconds, nobody moved.Sophia stared at the photograph in Victoria's trembling hands.The man standing beside her father and Adrian's family looked much older than everyone else, yet there was something unmistakable about his expression.Power.Coldness.Control.Adrian stared at the photograph as though his entire world had just collapsed.“My grandfather is alive?”Victoria nodded slowly.“Yes.”“But my father told me he died before I was born.”“He wanted everyone to believe that.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“Why?”“Because your grandfather was the architect behind everything.”Sophia looked at her mother.“The Black Ledger?”“Yes.”Evelyn stepped closer.“He created the network decades ago.”Sophia's voice trembled.“Why?”“To control powerful people.”Evelyn pointed toward the photograph.“He believed money wasn't enough. He wanted influence. He wanted people in government, business, law enforcement, and finance to owe him.”Adrian stared at the photograph.“And my fathe
